KANDAHAR, Afghanistan (AP) - NATO-led troops mistakenly shot and killed an Afghan man in southern Afghanistan Saturday, believing he was a suicide bomber, the alliance said in a statement.
The victim was shot as he ran between vehicles of a military convoy that had stopped near Kandahar's military airfield, the statement from NATO's International Security Assistance Force said.
"A gunner on one of the vehicles flashed a light at the individual after he kept moving toward the convoy, then fired warning shots," statement said. "When the individual failed to stop, ISAF forces fired upon him."
